Kinect-based wearable prototype system for ataxic patients neurorehabilitation: Control group preliminary results
The aim of this study is to validate the wearable prototype system for ataxic patients' neurorehabilitation based on the Microsoft Kinect device and to archive a preliminary results of a control group of healthy subjects. The system acquires kinematics quantities as 3D position, rotation angles, linear acceleration and angular velocity of the wrist joint during a rehabilitation exercise replayed in 2 different difficulties. The trajectories performed by the 20 subjects were analysed to find the best trajectory and the one completed in the least time.
